HOW TO COPE AT WORK WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH MENOPAUSE - Episode 16

Listen on

Episode notes

Does menopause make your working days a living hell?  Are you trying to cope still smashing your job whilst being floored by menopausal symptoms?  You aren't alone!  75% of women have debilitating symptoms that affect their performance; 25% of menopausal women consider leaving because of it; 10% actually do.

Liz Clayton-Jones of Queen Bee who specialises in working with women suffering menopausal symptoms that affect their performance talks to me about how bad this phenomenon is in the workplace and some of the things we can do about it. Her sound and comforting advice is worth taking a listen, if only to confirm that you aren't the only one suffering. 

In the podcast, Liz mentions a raft of organisations that can help.  You can find these here: 

Gen M - Curated "best of" information on menopause on the web

British Menopause Society - Long established UK establishment 

Positive Pause - Great “magazine” site for information, and they can help organisations set up the right HR policies and procedures

Hen Picked - Useful info site with a bit of a different angle 

Menopause Matters - A site set up by Diane Danzebrink who campaigns for support and education in all matters menopause.
